Day 2 comes to a productive end...

We are at 28 degrees right now, and I have a BIG hole in my roof!  Thank goodness for Ruben and his handy work that we are still warm down below the 2nd floor war zone!

I have given up the idea that my yard and garden will survive this - I didnt put up much of a fight there..the first layer of saw dust has already killed grass that probably died under the weight of the new snow anyway!  Inside we are still in tact - no dust, just noise and "closeness" so far.  We can survive this!  (My new mantra!)

The extended floor is built....

Great right?  I will have a much larger front porch and my Master bath will be above the new porch.

Inside - they tore it all out....have a look...

 This is Viola's old closet which will become our newly extended Master Domain - closet and bath.

 The last little piece of Viola's Kids Room is left above the window...I have to say, for a home that is 80+ years old, it sure held up well!!

Tomorrow Ruben and the guys will frame up the entire dormer and new roof line. Friday it is a new roof for the entire house before the rain comes on Sunday!!  My windows have been ordered and I am working on plumbing fixtures as that will be the next thing to do - mechanical rough in (electrical, plumbing and HVAC).

The end of another awesome day!
